Tianyuan Divine Art

At the gate of the Panjiayuan flea market, Ye Lingtian jumped out of a taxi and walked quickly into the market, but there was no one there in a blink of an eye.

Panjiayuan Flea Market is the most popular antiques market in China. It is divided into six business areas: street stalls, ancient buildings, classical furniture, modern collections, jewelry and jade, and catering services. It mainly sells antiques , handicrafts, collectibles and decorations, with an annual turnover of several hundred million yuan.

As the new year is approaching, fewer people come to Panjiayuan to shop for treasures. At this time, only a few people are still setting up street stalls in the usually bustling market, and many shops have closed their doors to go home for the New Year.

After walking nearly half a street in the jade market, I finally saw a jewelry and jade shop that was still open. Outside the door, on the carved railing pavilion on the second floor, there was a gold-lettered plaque on a black background, with the words "Qishi Zhai" written in black and white.

"Qishizhai? Is this spirit stone considered a strange stone?" Thinking of this, Ye Lingtian pushed open the door and stepped in.

Maybe it's because of the Chinese New Year coming soon, in the huge store, apart from the clerks and security guards, there are only two or three customers picking things at the counter.

"Hi sir, what kind of jade do you want to buy? I can introduce it to you." Seeing someone push the door open, a female shop assistant in business attire came forward.But after seeing Ye Lingtian's very ordinary clothes all over his body, his respectful tone obviously faded.

Ye Lingtian entered this kind of jewelry store for the first time, and didn't know how to trade, so he cut to the chase and asked directly, "Do you accept jade here?"

"Jade? I don't know what it is? We only deal in high-end jade." Seeing that Ye Lingtian was young and dressed in plain clothes, the woman in business attire showed a hint of contempt in her eyes, obviously she didn't believe Ye Lingtian could come up with any good jade.

Sensing the contemptuous gaze in the woman's eyes, Ye Lingtian raised his brows a few times, feeling secretly displeased.

However, he was too lazy to argue with such a snobbish woman, so he directly took out a high-grade spirit stone from his mountaineering bag, and said flatly, "That's all, let's see how much it's worth."

The woman in professional attire held the Lingshi in her hand and looked at it for a long time, but she didn't see anything special. She was about to ridicule Ye Lingtian, when a middle-aged man in his 40s, wearing a Tang suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked out from the back room. man.

Seeing this man, the woman in professional attire said respectfully: "Mr. Li, this man took an unknown broken stone and said he would sell it. I looked at it for a long time and couldn't tell what it was." Pass it to the middle-aged man.

"Oh? You can't even see it?" The middle-aged man was also a little curious. He took the Lingshi and looked at it, and took out a magnifying glass to study the Lingshi carefully.

After a while, the middle-aged man raised his head, returned the spirit stone to Ye Lingtian, shook his head and said, "Little brother, I have been playing with jade all my life, but I have never seen this kind of jade before. I'm sorry!"

In fact, spirit stones are the highest quality jade stones, and some high-quality jade stones also contain very little spirit energy, but ordinary people can't see it.

Since the middle-aged man didn't know what to buy, Ye Lingtian wanted to try another store.However, when he saw the jade ornaments on the counter in a blink of an eye, he seemed to think of something again. He put the spirit stone into the mountaineering bag, and then took out a jade wine glass from it and said to the middle-aged man: "Boss, I still have a few wine glasses here." , show it to you too!"

As soon as the eyes of the middle-aged man came into contact with the jade wine glass, a gleam of light flashed, and his face changed a few times. He hurriedly took it and looked carefully with a magnifying glass, with a hint of greed in his eyes from time to time.

After a long time, the middle-aged man withdrew his gaze, deliberately pretended to be calm and said to Ye Lingtian: "Little brother, this wine glass looks good, but the quality of the jade is a little bit worse. Yes. I don’t know how much the little brother wants to sell? If the price is moderate, I’ll help you collect it.”

The first-class ancient jade was said to be of poor quality? The 5000-year-old ancient jade wine cup is said to be modern?There's no such thing as killing people, right?

Ye Lingtian's face darkened, and a nameless anger suddenly surged in his heart, but he suppressed the anger, and his face returned to the previous appearance, and he asked calmly, "Boss, what price can you accept?"

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Lingtian, his gaze flickered, and his eyeballs kept turning around. After a while, he stretched out two fingers: "Two thousand."

Hearing this, Ye Lingtian didn't even have the thought of getting angry. He glanced at the middle-aged man contemptuously, picked up his wine glass and walked out.

This middle-aged man really slaughtered himself as a fat sheep. He has never eaten pork, but he must have seen pigs run away.Although I don't know the price of jade in this life, I spent a lot of low-grade spirit stones to buy this set of wine glasses in my previous life, not to mention that thousands of years have passed, and it has already become an antique.

Seeing Ye Lingtian turn around and leave, the middle-aged man hurriedly chased him out: "Little brother, don't worry, everything is negotiable, I will give you more, three thousand, no, five thousand..."

Ye Lingtian sneered in his heart when he heard the words, his face turned cold, and he said, "Five thousand? Even if I smash the wine glass now, I'm afraid that one piece would cost more than five thousand!"

After finishing speaking, ignore the middle-aged man and turn around to go out.

The middle-aged man still wanted to chase him, but Ye Lingtian was still there when he chased him outside, so he could only beat his chest and stamp his feet at the door.

The woman in professional attire came over and said charmingly: "Mr. Li, it's just a small wine glass. Look at that shabby guy, what good things can you come up with?"

"What do you know? The wine glass is at least an ancient jade from the Han Dynasty, and it can fetch hundreds of thousands at least at the auction! I thought that kid was just a country bumpkin who didn't understand the market, so he wanted to pick up a big leak. Alas, it's all my fault. It's so good." I missed something like this, and he was right, even a piece of it is worth a lot!" The middle-aged man was still regretful.

But after a while, the remorseful expression on the middle-aged man's face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression, a greedy look flashed in his eyes, he waved to a security guard not far away, and said a few words in his ear, then A security guard opened the door and left in a hurry.

Ye Lingtian naturally couldn't see all of this, he had already entered another antique jade shop at this time.

The signboard of "Gu Yuzhai" is hung on the door of the shop, with white characters on a red background, written in the official script style, thick and steady, solid and compact, bringing a strong classical charm to people.

There were not many customers in the store, Ye Lingtian glanced at several counters, most of them were jade ornaments, such as earrings, bracelets, wishful thinking, etc.

Walking around the booth and walking to the counter inside, Ye Lingtian looked around, and without waiting for the clerk in the store to come forward to greet him, he asked directly: "Who is the boss here? Do you accept ancient jade wine glasses?"

Realizing that this is not the world of comprehension, and the people here don't know the spirit stone, Ye Lingtian didn't bother to take it out, but took out the wine glass directly.
